Buono For Governor Receives Endorsement From Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union

Statement

Today, the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU) endorsed State Senator Barbara Buono for Governor. The RWDSU represents over 14,000 workers across New Jersey.

"We are proud to announce our support for Senator Buono because she will provide a strong voice for all of New Jersey's workers and their families," said RWDSU President Stuart Appelbaum. "She has established herself as a champion for the middle class and working poor, fighting to increase the minimum wage, lower the cost of health care and protect our right to collectively bargain. Senator Buono is staunchly committed to safeguarding and enhancing workers' rights, and we look forward to working with her as governor."

"It's an honor to receive the endorsement of the RWDSU today," Senator Buono said. "We share the same goals of providing economic security and opportunity for New Jersey's workers. While Governor Christie has demonized union workers over the past three years to appeal to his right-wing base, I will work everyday as governor to fight for unions and their members."
